    The food was very plain and had no flavour. The chicken was dry and the Lamb birra came without the birria dipping sauce. Won't be going back or recommending it to anyone. Very disappointed.

    Had a lovely dinner with our family of 9. Overall experience was excellent. Great people trying really hard to make sure everyone had a great night out. Would love to maybe see a few specials for next time? Try to chorizo and potato entree... and the prawns!

    3 diners - one main meal received 10-15 minutes before other 2 so first diner was finished before others even started. Drinks arrived after first main meal. Simple request for half portion of share fajitas as only one person wanted them refused. Pool of oil on plate from burger. Table so sticky, paper napkins stuck to them. Disappointing on so many levels.

    We were a group of 10 + a high chair, drinks orders were taken quickly and the waiter was very attentive. Food has never disappointed previously and didn’t tonight. Great location and an overall fabulous restaurant to dine at. We will definitely be back. Thank you ☺️

    The food was absolutely fantastic! We got a number of the share boards and a few mains shared between four of us. The beef fajita plate was a favourite of the table but everything was just amazing. Staff were friendly and given the quantity of food the price was quite reasonable. Overall, we plan to return for another meal at Pablito's.
